"High protein milkshake" is the favorite of many athletes. (Photo/taken from SteadyHealth in the United States) WebMD, a well-known lifestyle and health website in the United States, recently interviewed the CEO of the International Sports Nutrition Society (ISSN) and said that the contents of protein milkshakes on the market are mainly (animal or plant) protein, carbohydrates and fat. After strenuous exercise, most people can't supplement their nutrition by eating immediately. At this time, the liquid milkshake is not only convenient to ingest, but also beneficial to gastrointestinal absorption, and can replenish glycogen consumed by muscles in a short time. Consumers should choose different proportions of protein milkshakes according to their own conditions and needs, so that the effect can be exerted.
A healthy adult's daily intake of protein depends on his weight. Average 1kg requires 0.75g protein. For a 70kg adult male, at least 52.5g protein is enough. If you have the habit of long-distance running (endurance athletes), you need 1 ~ 1.6 grams of protein (per kilogram), while athletes who emphasize the instantaneous explosive power of muscles such as weightlifting (strength/strength athletes) should raise the protein intake standard to 1.6 ~ 2 grams. Therefore, for people who want to keep fit and exercise muscles, they must choose milkshakes with high protein content. For athletes who emphasize muscle endurance, there should be more carbohydrates in it. As for people who want to lose weight, they must pay attention to the content of carbohydrates and fat, otherwise they will fall short.
Animal protein mainly comes from dairy products or eggs, and plant protein comes from soybeans. The effects of the two are similar, but the antioxidant effect of plant protein is stronger. Many men mistakenly believe that soy protein is a sacred product used by women to relieve menopause, fearing that it will reduce testosterone and muscle in the body after intake. In fact, these are all wrong concepts.
Although drinking too much protein milkshake will not cause too much negative harm to human body, general nutritionists still recommend taking protein from daily diet, unless it is for special needs such as exercise, fitness or health, there is no need to drink it as plain water. Bill Clinton, the former president of the United States, has publicly admitted that his health has been deteriorating in recent years, so he drinks protein milkshake every morning to supplement his lack of nutrition. This has attracted the attention of many doctors, fearing that he might overdo it and ruin his health.
